I emailed AGFA and asked about rumors that Scala 200x would be discontinued.
And to confirm (once again) that APX 25 was discontinued. Here is their reply:

We regret to inform you that we recently discontinued production of APX 25 in
all formats 135-36, 35mm x 17m and 120. Orders for existing stock will be taken
until supplies are exhausted. No other black & white film products are
affected.
(I guess Scala is still with us)
